Hull City boss Nigel Adkins hailed Nottingham Forest attacker Joao Carvalho's opener a 'wonder strike' and pin-pointed the midfielder's goal as the afternoon's turning point in Hull City's 3-0 defeat at the City Ground.

Forest stormed to victory on Trentside over their fellow play-off rivals, who started the day level on points with Martin O'Neill's side.

Victory for the Reds saw them end the day two points behind sixth places Derby County.
